Wisdom teeth commiseration thread

I have exactly the same issue due to antibiotics at a young age. Would be interested to hear how you deal with that (sorry to hijack the thread somewhat)

selsun... applied twice a day for 5 mins to the affected areas - wash off afterwards - usually clears within a few days using it. have to buy it over the counter at the pharmacy but a container lasts a long time.

Edit: my old GP advised me to use it, just dab it on with either a cloth or cotton wool bud and rinse off with a sponge/flannel

Interestingly, as a few GPs diagnosed me (incorrectly) with Rosacea. I took it upon myself to investigate and noticed that when using anti-dandruff shampoo, my skin cleared up. Been using Loreal's Selenium S one in the same way you do for a good few years now. Its probably not as strong so i might pick some selsun up and try that. I also get increased symptoms with the addition of too much sugar into my diet.

yep, or when under the weather, on antibiotics... etc

Things aren't so grim now, I'm still taking paracetamol and ibroprofen but the pain levels and swollen tender neck have dialled down now. Hoping to get back on two wheels soon!

About time. The weathers getting darker, colder and grimmer. Must be time for us to start riding together again

It's not a proper ride unless your chest frosts up!

there had been a layer of ice over my waterproof, front and arms but it broke and fell to the ground when I stopped and got off the bike....
